Possible to glue glass?

The corner of my headlight chipped off but I have the piece. Is it possible to glue it back on w/o noticing the chip too much?

Check around at auto and hardware stores. They must have some kind of epoxy you can buy to adhere glass. They use some kind of epoxy to fill cracks in windows I believe.

Try clear silicone caulk. It's used to glue aquariums, glass blocks, display case glass etc.

Just put a little dab on the loose piece, stick it back together and let it dry. If some silicone oozes out, don't try to wipe it off. Just cut off the excess with a razor blade after it cures.

How did it chip off, did a rock hit your headlight.

I think they're plastic? But I know I've seen both glass and plastic glued somehow (might want to find out which it is though since some glues only work on certain materials).
